You cannot GIVE anyone a green card. When you are married, you can file a visa petition for your spouse if you are a US citizen. You may need your parent's permission to marry depending on where you live. If your boyfriend entered the US with a visa, he can apply for adjustment of status at the same time you file the I-130 visa petition.

Yes, it should be possible to legalize your husband's immigration status. There are, at least, two different approaches to the task; and to decide which one should be used, your attorney has to find out how did your husband enter the U.S., with a visa or illegally, and to weigh your family circumstances (your and your child's health, your earning capacity, your extended family support in the U.S., etc.) In any event, this is not a do-it-yourself task.

Your husband will be eligible to benefit from the new policy designed to assist foreign nationals who entered the US illegally but are married to US citizens. Because your husband entered the US without inspection he will have to return to his home country to obtain residence. His departure from the US will trigger a ten year bar from returning, and he needs to waive that ground of inadmissibility. The new policy is designed to allow that trip abroad to be fast and with much less uncertainty because the waiver will be obtained in the US. With an approved waiver, the Administration believes that all the paperwork will be complete and the trip overseas will be fast. Waivers are based on individualized facts and I suggest hiring competent counsel.
